[Q] Car Dock with Otterbox Defender Case - Atrix 4G Accessories

I'd love to be able to use my Otterbox Defender case and my Car Dock at the same time. Unfortunately they just are not compatible. However, I was staring at my dock without the phone in it and I noticed that the bottom portion (where the phone rests) could possibly be ground down/sawed off so that the case would fit in. Depth doesn't seem to be an issue. Width is the problem. It might not look pretty, but if it's functional, that's all I care about.
Has anyone tried anything like this?

Its width and height that is the problem

Look at the mounts for a 200 series Garmin Nuvi. Very little modification and it clips right onto the Defender. There is a thread about this around here somewhere and has lots of pics. Works well and super solid.

Thanks everyone for you responses. I had seen that mount before and it is a creative approach. However what it lacks is having the usb cable and mount. What I like about the moto dock is that I don't have to deal with the cable everytime it get in and out of the car. Just drop the phone in and I'm good to go.
It may be that this is the next best alternative, but I am very tempted to chop the sides off my dock and see what happens.

Still looking for a car dock? try this.

So, i been reading here for people that have found some docks for the cars and what not... not satisfied with what i read and have seen i went on a personal search.
Here is what i found, and i think works great.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=047DXRZ149CSNC4QZ200
It opens just far enough for the evo, snugly fit, swivels, pretty much all you want for a car dock.
If you want pictures ask and i'll take some later.
TOO BIG! I hate all of those types of car docks, soundgate m2 is the way to go baby, will save ya 15 bucks as well(more possibly if that one doesn't have free shipping)!!
i went with this one because of the FM transmitter on it. All other options require for a hanging transmitter.
Keep in mind i dont have a car with bluetooth connectivity so this was the best that i thought would do the job... so far its great. This summer vacation was fun and easy to get around because of this little(big) gadget.
Yeah that's true, might have to get my own at some point, might just go for a radio that has bluetooth connectivity though because my experience with fm transmitters have sucked in the past, but maybe that's cause i live in a area with a LOT of radio stations.

From the looks of the picture the camera would be on the right hand side when in the horizontal position, therefore upside down as far as stock android is concerned?

yeah but if you remember in android 2.2 it allows for orientation with the device facing any direction.
and i also ordered mine waiting for it to arrive
My friend got one of those ebay docks, it came in a package with one of those cheap rubberized cases and a charger.
The dock holds the phone with that case on, and it rotates around so you could put the phone in any direction. The bending arm is actually quite stiff, it doesn't move once you set it into position.
It's a decent mount, haven't seen my friend using it so don't know if the suction cup holds up but I'd expect it to.
I wonder what HTC is gonna release for their car dock in september
Alright, the soundgate sounds great and all. But how in hell do I put that round thing on my Active Seidio Case? :S That just seems wrong.

If the cage it has is rubberized, you can sand it after masking it off with tape; I'll eventually do something like this. For those still interested in the SoundGate M2, I currently use this solid-mounted (as in bolted to the dashboard) with my Evo.
Supplemental parts/grommets are from Ace Hardware. Don't mind the dust/dirty screen; took a while to get the positioning down to where I wanted it, so I was pretty hands-on.

Car Mount

has anyone purchased a decent car mount for the vibrant? I'm all over the web looking for one that I certainly wouldn't regret in buying. So, please post links, opinions, and maybe pics. thank you
I do not have it yet, but i saw this get posted several times with some good reviews http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.37823
The Verizon Fascinate is coming out this week and the press release says there will be a mount. I'm going to take my phone by a Verizon store and see if they have one they'll open and let me check fit.
Car Dock – Attachable to the windshield or dashboard, the car dock displays turn-by-turn GPS navigation instructions, rotates freely between landscape and portrait modes, and features a preloaded Samsung “Car Home” application, giving customers access to everything the “Desk Home” app can do while on the go. The car dock is available for $39.99.

Due to the similar size and shape, I'm betting most generic ipod touch/iphone mounts out there will fit. Planning on checking walmarts offerings and maybe bestbuy sometime this week.
I just bought this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150481766101&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I think its great if you're not using a case, snaps right it and doesn't move, and the mount seems nice and firm. The holes for the speakerphone and camera are all in the right places so its good to go.
Only complaint i have is the top snap portion is a little long and gets caught in the seam between the front and back cover if you're not careful. I snipped a tiny bit off the end of it to blunt the end a little bit, and am careful to pull the snap back when i slide the phone in, and its nice.
There are is a thread in here as well and/or the i9000 accessories forum that discusses a few options if you are using a case.

And on that note, i called my corp Verizon rep and ordered one - free overnight shipping. Part# is "SAMI500MNT"
SHould be here tomorrow @ 3:30'ish, that's when Mr. Fedex shows up.
I'll post details and pics if it's legit and ends up workin on the Vibrant.
(had to edit quote as i'm too new to post links)
Much to my dismay, not only is the micro-USB connector lower on the Fascinate than on the Vibrant, rendering the dock useless unless you remove the Vibrant's battery cover & insert at an angle, but the phone doesn't seem to recognize the usb connection. Although it does give you the audible signal that it's been plugged in - the charging indicator disappears immediately and audio is not passed through the 3.5mm jack at the back of the dock.
The overall design of the car dock is very nice and I can only hope TMO will bring something along these lines for the Vibrant.
Here are some pics of the car dock for the Fascinate, for those who happened to be curious.

That's too bad, it looked promising. Thanks for jumping on it and trying for us.
Since the Galaxy is light in weight and came with 2 back covers, I did a DIY with velcro. I lined it up to my center dash (horizontally), hooked up the AUX and charger and BAM...only 5 bucks! I now have Google NAV/traffic and .MP4s at my finger tips.

Just got this mount today and well.......it's a very tight fit. This is perfect for anything smaller than the Vibrant size, otherwise it's a tight fit or won't fit at all. I won't recommend it if you need a mount where you can move the phone in and out of the mount quickly, otherwise, it should do well.
I use this one:
http://www.meritline.com/car-holder...-windshield-with-suction-mount---p-54018.aspx
With my Vibrant. Works great. You've got to be careful with the clip though to make sure you don't release it too soon it it'll snag between the battery cover and phone.
Overall very nice & doesn't obscure the phone at all & the phone can rotate 360 degrees with almost no effort (though it hasn't happened accidentally or when I've hit a bump or anything).
Anyone ever heard of proclipusa.com? They are a bit expensive but I had it for my iPhone in my 06 acura TL and it was awesome! Haven't ordered for the vibrant yet but am going to soon.

Official dock is now available... the cheapest I could find it was at Newegg for $35. Part #ECS-M979BEGSTA, I think (but some stores use this same part number for the Fascinate dock).

I bought the dock for the infuse and it does fit, although a little tight. The problem is the mount and arm are HUGE!!! It won't fit anywhere in the car. The search begins for a car dock that will work well.

Yeah, I ordered this dock and tried it out this morning and it is definitely huge. Aside from that the clips that hold it in place is mean to be used in portrait mode rather than landscape mode so the piece that your phone clips on to pops off the mount really easy. Another complaint about this dock is that in order for you to pop your phone out your thumb/finger will hit either the power button or the volume rocker on the phone.
Coming from a nicely designed Motorola Droid X phone and car dock this dock is a really major down-grade.

I have adjustable Pro-Clip mounts in my GS450h and my MDX... I have used them for years and have had no issues. If I get a chance, I will post pictures.
ExoGear makes a mount that is basically a big clip. I have it in my car and everyone loves it because it is completely universal. It will hold anything up to the note with room to spare but I haven't tried anything bigger. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of a charger, but it is minimal and easy to use.

Does it interfere with the volume or power buttons?
Or you can get a Tetrax.

Though, this solution still requires plugging your phone in. The pro is it's case-friendly.

I've thinking about getting this. Do you think the suction cup will stick directly to the dashboard, not the glass? I want to use a dash mount but I don't want to use a sticker to stick anything on my dash that would leave residue behind.
doesnt it bother you guys that AC/heat vents will be blocked in the cold winters/hot summers with the vent clip mounts?
because of this i took matters into my own hand and modified a cheapo universal mount and glued it directly onto a part of my car.
here in NJ it's illegal to have ANYTHING on the windshield or dash. buddy of mine actually got a ticket for that recently.

The Perfect Vehicle Dock That Works With A Case?

In search of a vehicle dock that will accommodate the size of the Galaxy S III with a case.
Preferably one that fits in the heating/AC vents, or mounts on the front of your dashboard and not on top of the dashboard. I guess one without the suction cup.
Going to be mainly used for Navigation.
Any suggestions?

Best car holder I've ever had!
Don't know if people just don't know about these or just don't like them. I got mine back in February and used it on my old E4GT and now the S3, I absolutly love it! The key is, for me anyways, getting a TPU case( always use TPU so no biggie there ) take an exacto knife and cut a perfect sized cut out for the tiny magnet. If you do it correctly the looks isn't bad at all( use the small magnet, works fine for me ) and more importantly it wont 'wobble' on the table, lays flat. Sorry don't have any pics of my old setup and haven't cut out my new one yet. Also, nice that we have replaceable back covers in case you're worried about it marring up the back if you want to remove it later.
As far as construction quality, magnet hold strenght both are superb, haven't hadd one inceidentl fall off the holder. Also magent doesn't seem to interfer with wifi or cell at all. NFC I haven't tested yet, but my suggestion would be to mount it towards the top side of the case away from the battery( like were the carrier logo is on the back )
Anyways just my 2 cents, check out youtube they have a couple good reviews of it on there.
http://eshop.tetrax.us/
I can't post pics/links but I followed Lifehacker's guide to making a car mount out of office supplies (site should be easy to find with that information). It works surprisingly well, even with the size of the S3 and the fact that my vehicle's vents aren't perfectly suited for the application. I thought it'd be kind of ghetto but it's hidden while in use and easy to remove and stash away when not in use.
I'll make a thread with pics once I have enough posts.

Take your time and look around. There's plenty of car mounts that will fit this phone with a case.
Seems like most are the suction cup kind
will work for any phone even tablets
Sorry long time forum reader but first time posting. I can't post a link but search "soundgate m2 car mount"
You can probably find them cheaper. Used my for the og dinc for 2 years. I put the disc on my case instead of the phone. But I would have no reservations to put it directly on the phone as the disc is extremely unobtrusive. Just clean the spot you want to mount the arm really well with included wipe or rubbing alcohol. The arm mounts with a 3m adhesive pad and folds almost flush when not in use. Very slick. Put the discs on anything you want to dock to the arm. I forget how much weight it can handle but I saw a tablet being used as well. Sorry tried to upload pictures and after an afternoon of searching the forums on how to do it, i still cant get it. Just google "soundgate m2 car mount" you wont be dissapointed.

you just kinda put it in the vents, and then bend it down. works great! It really stays put too. Check out the gallery section on the site, there are other pics of it in the vents.

ProClip. It is a little more money, but well worth it. I would get the proper mount for your vehicle (vent or side mount) and the adjustable phone mount so you can use it with a case. The also make a clip so you can move the mount from car to car.
Sadly, mine was recently stolen, but they offered me a discount because of my loss.
So I created a ghetto version as a sort of joke in exchange.

Bike mounts?

Good day all. So, I have been browsing bike mounts and wondered if anyone had suggestions on what would work great for the 7 Pro. Armor-x and Quad Lock were the two I saw. Quad Lock has a great reputation but only a universal mount. Anyone familiar with them? If anyone has other suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

Good day all. So, I have been browsing bike mounts and wondered if anyone had suggestions on what would work great for the 7 Pro. Armor-x and Quad Lock were the two I saw. Quad Lock has a great reputation but only a universal mount. Anyone familiar with them? If anyone has other suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

I had the quadlock for my Note 9 and loved it. I looked into getting the universal adapter but it seems to be picky with what kind of material the case is made of. I instead went to a top tube bag/phone holder just to keep my phone out of my pocket and backpack. Let me know what route you end up going.

Looks to be how I'll be going

This looks very promising! I really like how fast you can remove it from the mount which was the only thing I didn't like about quadlock.

Will your phone lie flat on a table with the armor-x case? The quadlock case looks like its bulging at the attachment part, so it seems like the phone will be raised up in the centre, and if you tap the left side of the screen, I would assume the phone would be wiggling.
I like to have my phone lie flat on a table when I'm using it (too big to hold all the time,lol), so if the phone is wiggling while using it, thats a no for me then.

100% not lay perfectly flat. It does rock side to side if you touch the screen to wake it or even maybe reply to a text

What all did you order? I find it pretty overwhelming with what all they offer.

I agree, I am waiting to find out what others have tried before I make a decision.
any update on this? It's been hard for me to find a phone holder for the bike because of the size of the OP7P

This one holds really well. It will cover up some of the edges though. I don't remember if I already tried the OnePlus 7 pro on it but the OnePlus 5 easily fit it and as the OnePlus 7 pro is merely bigger im pretty sure it will fit.
This model is sold by many different brands but it's really strong and survived all my Mountainbike trips.
Hi all! Do any of you have any more up-to-date ideas about bike mounts? I'm searching for a bike mount that be flexible with rotation and allow me to also take videos with the OP7Pro.
Not sure why, but the results are not that much on Google search and it seems that these guys pay Google a lot to be on top:

If the mount case is waterproof, that would be awesome, but I'm not sure if there's such a case that can be combined with the ability to allow video capturing.
I have on my motorcycles, the techmount and the rammount. Both work well.
I use rokform...
That's the best kind of bike holder: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32610266632.html - it's safe, waterproof and it also includes room for power bank.
